Grignolino d'Asti
Wine · PDO · 34 municipalities
Recognized since 1973, the Grignolino d'Asti DOC represents a specific style of viticulture in Piedmont. Cultivated across 34 municipalities, including Agliano Terme, this red wine limits vineyard yields to a maximum of 8.0 tonnes per hectare. Unlike neighboring designations, the production rules explicitly prohibit any qualitative modifiers like 'superiore', 'fine', or 'scelto', meaning no Riserva category can be produced. It relies on a blend of at least 90% Grignolino and up to 10% Freisa. Bottled with a mandatory vintage year, the wine shows a ruby-red color that shifts toward orange with age, delivering a dry, pleasantly bitterish flavor with a persistent aftertaste.
